feat(tui): auto-advance completed exercises - #129

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Auto-submit may advance or alter an exercise based on stale results after the learner edits their code, and marker text inside a string can leave the exercise stuck. The PR should not merge until these cases are handled. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Schedule auto-advance only for the checked, removable marker snapshot.
The worker result applies to the text written before _run_current. Line 226 instead captures the current editor text. If the learner edits before the worker callback runs, a prior successful result can remove the marker from unverified learner text.
The same predicate uses Exercise.is_pending(). That method accepts marker text inside a string, but Exercise.strip_marker() returns that text unchanged. The countdown then ends without completion or a restored prompt.
Carry the submitted editor text through the worker callback. Schedule auto-advance only if the editor still equals that submitted text and strip_marker(submitted_text) != submitted_text. Add regression tests for an edit during an in-flight successful check and for marker text inside a string.
As per coding guidelines, preserve learner-edited exercises during workspace updates.
